Forecasts

Palamon (11/8), Mordor (6/4), Love Me (13/2), Uhavemeinstitches (12/1), Rocky's Diamond (22/1), Tannery Park (25/1), Thegreenthirteen (28/1), Let Him B (40/1), Lope De Light (50/1), Star Contact (66/1), Tic Tac Toe (66/1), Kellys Grove (80/1), Dylan's Chance (80/1), The Blaggard (100/1), Duchamps Art (125/1), Warrior Lion (150/1)

PALAMON and Mordor both struggled in the Fred Winter last time but had shown plenty of encouragement previously, so they're expected to fight this out, with preference for the former. Love Me is a newcomer to note depending on the market vibes.
